This weekend I am starting a Permaculture Design Course at RISC in Reading. In preparation I have been sorting my permaculture, gardening and identification guides/books into some sort of order. A few seem to have gone missing (Patrick Whitefield's "Permaculture in a Nutshell" for example) but I'm sure they'll turn up as we do our New Year general declutter and clearout.

Inspired by Andy's example, I decided to clean up my computer tonight, make a full backup, and declutter my desktop while I was at it.

It's day 18 of my 30 Day "D" challenge, and today's project was to Declutter (yes, I'm adding "D's" as I go) the cabinet under my bathroom sink. It's a huge double-door cabinet with very little to get in the way of things, so I'd crammed it with multiple storage bins packed with all kinds of random bathroom-related items. Today I emptied it all out, Dumped or Donated all of the things I don't need, and kept just 3 small bins of lotions, potions, and necessities. Now I can actually find what's under there, my travel kit fits nicely, I can get to the spare Kleenex. . . it's actually a rather happy space.
One of my goals this week was to organize my messy trunk. It had become the catch-all for all sort of random things.
So, because a 365 Photo project isn’t enough to deal with right now, I’m going to try a 30-Day “D” Challenge: Dump it, Donate it, or Deal with it. Which means that every day, I “Dump” something that should have been thrown away, “Donate” something I no longer need/want/use, or “Deal” with something that’s been sitting around unfinished (am I the only one who's had that LAST under cabinet light in a kitchen drawer for months?)
Starting off easy, today’s “Donate” is the pair of shoes I wore today; they’re not that comfortable, they don’t fit very well, and I don’t really like them, so why are they still on my shoe rack? Well, they’re not anymore. Into the Donate box they go!
(and yes, poor quality iPhone photos are TOTALLY allowed for this project!)
(subtitled: one must declutter ~grin~)
when you get to be our age, you discover that you have acquired pieces of furniture, things useful and not-so-useful, and knicknacks that you can't quite give yourself permission to donate, sell, or consign to the trash. (keep in mind that i have been in this house for almost 18 years.) people that you love who are moving give you things; dear ones pass away and you take things of your childhood; you buy cool pieces (see the painted cabinet in the middle; it is already on a different wall :)
this is the "before" shot of the wall where the now-assembled wall unit has gone. the desk on the right will go onto craigslist because i have never used it as a desk and the bookcase on the left will go to donation, if i can get it into my car-- it was recycled harvard dorm furniture and is as heavy as all get out.
so as thoreau was fond of saying: "simplify, simplify, simplify"
(i am trying to ~grin~)

At a time when I am desperately trying to declutter, what possessed me to let Ocado add this dinky freeby to my groceries?

333/365 Friday 29 November 2013 - I started a major craft/sewing clean out/declutter. I came across these vintage buttons a cousin sent me years ago. So pretty.
On the advice of her shrink, 22-year-old Londoner Georgia Horrocks is trying to declutter her mind by selling her imaginary friend on eBay! “I have recently come to the decision that it is time to sell my imaginary friend Bernard who was created during a time of emotional instability,” Georgia wrote in the eBay listing.

It's the 24th day of my 30 Day Challenge, and I spent a few hours Dealing with the futon space in my library/guest room. For months now it's been in "bed" mode, overflowing with pillows, blankets, throw pillows, and even more pillows. And the storage bin underneath was a black hole of the unknown. Today I took it all apart, Donated most of the pillows, a lot of the blankets, some pillowcases, and the three (yes, 3!!!) shower curtains hiding underneath. Then I put 2 winter blankets in a blanket bag, added 1 medium weight fleece to the box, and flipped the futon into couch mode. Topped with just a few pillows and a couple throw blankets, it no longer overpowers the entire room.

One of a collection of Japanese netsuke I've just listed on eBay. They've been in a box in a cupboard for ages and not on display so during a radical declutter they went on the "things to eBay" pile.
Netsuke were used in Japan when people wore kimono that had no pockets. They would hang a small sectioned box (an inro) from their sash in order to store small quantities of things like snuff or tobacco. The netsuke was the toggle that slipped through the sash to keep the dangling inro in place. They were always carved into decorative items and are quite collectible in their own right now.
This one is rather nice boxwood and part of a collection of rat/mice netsuke. Hopefully someone out there'll fall for them and I'll clear a little more space to buy other stuff! (Ed. Doh! Surely it's not supposed to work that way?)
